Zheng Wuji was sorting out old books in the Yamen.
There are many people who have been bitten by insects, rats, and beetles, and they still need to find ways to find out again and write them in again.
These things were so trivial that he didn't feel bored at all.
Some people are better off being busy than being idle. When I am idle, I miss Xu Chunjun, which is really uncomfortable.
While he was busy, a colleague named Lu from the same department hurriedly walked in and said to Zheng Wuji: "Brother Zheng, why are you still here?"
Zheng Wuji didn't even raise his head and said, "I'm not going to rest today. Where would I be if I weren't here?"
Lu Sheng said: "You don't know about the co-authorship yet! Then let me congratulate you first!"
After saying that, he bowed his hands and said, "Congratulations to Brother Zheng, congratulations to Brother Zheng!"
Zheng Wuji was startled by him. He just put down the pen in his hand and asked him: "What's wrong with you? Where did this happy event come from?"
"Brother Zheng, you have been promoted!" Lu Sheng said with a smile, "My brothers said you had a future when we were together, but we didn't expect it to be so soon."
Generally speaking, they often need three years of experience in a position before being transferred.
This is already considered fast, and I didn’t change places for five or eight years.
"Where did you hear that?" Zheng Wuji didn't believe it, "Don't be so impatient to hear this."
"No, what Zhang Yuanwai said just now is that he has seen the official document!" Lu Sheng looked determined, "I think I was delayed by other things, but I will tell you soon."
Zheng Wuji frowned, and there was no excitement on his face.
Lu Sheng thought he was too happy, but instead he looked dull and continued: "Good brother, you are only an eighth-ranked official here, but you will be a fifth-ranked official in the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Obviously someone from above appreciates you, this will really make you rise to the top."
Just as he was talking, another person came over. He first congratulated Zheng Wuji and then said, "The minister wants you to come over. Someone will take over the work here."
Zheng Wuji had no choice but to straighten his clothes and go to the servant's side.
"Wuji! This is the transfer document," Zuo Shilang said to Zheng Wuji with a smile, "I have long seen that you are extraordinary, and now that you have been promoted to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, you can show off your talents even more.
Although we are reluctant to part with you, there is nothing we can do about it. There will be a banquet at Liuxian Winery tomorrow, so you must go."
"I'm really scared," Zheng Wuji saluted, "I really don't dare to take the position."
"What's the point of being polite? Don't show it to anyone!" Zuo Shilang smiled and waved his hand, "From now on we can be brothers."
Although Zheng Wuji was transferred to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he was only a fifth-rank official, still several ranks behind the official rank of Minister.
But once he came, he was promoted so quickly, which is really rare.
Secondly, he is still young, and there are not many people at his age who can serve as a fifth-grade civil servant.
From this point of view, Zheng Wuji must have found a strong backer.
Who among the officialdom should not be able to see all directions and listen to all directions?
You can feel the slightest movement, let alone such a big change.
"I still have some unfinished things on hand," Zheng Wuji felt that it was too sudden, "I'll finish them!"
"It's very unnecessary, just leave it alone, someone has been arranged to take over your job," Zuo Shilang said, "You go back and have a rest, and then go to the staff department to report!"
Zheng Wuji still couldn't be happy at this time. He bowed and left. Shilang Zuo also said to the people next to him: "Did you see that this guy, despite his usual cheerfulness, can really control his mood when something big happens?"
Formed by color.”
When Zheng Wuji returned home, the servant guarding the door was still wondering why he came back so early today.
As soon as Zheng Wuji walked into the second door, Yi Pingshun came.
"Master is at home, that's great." Yi Pingshun couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when he saw Zheng Wuji.
"What's wrong? But what's going on at the bank?" Zheng Wuji asked hurriedly.
"Don't worry, uncle. Something happened, but it's not necessarily a bad thing." Yi Ping said smoothly, "It's just that the matter is too big for a villain to make up his mind."
"Then go into the house," Zheng Wuji said, "This is not the place to talk."
Shopkeeper Yi followed him into the guest room, and the maid made tea and brought it to him.
Zheng Wuji asked them to go down first again.
"Shopkeeper Yi, please take a sip of tea first and talk about it later." Zheng Wuji was very polite to Yi Pingshun.
He takes care of almost everything in the bank. With such a capable shopkeeper, he, the owner, really saves both worry and effort.
However, Yi Pingshun did not bother to drink tea and said: "Uncle, I got up early today. As soon as I opened the door, the big shopkeeper of Baotong Bank went there."
"The shopkeeper of Baotong Bank...Ding Renxiang?" Zheng Wuji asked.
"Yes." Yi Pingshun replied.
"We asked him to cooperate several times before, but they didn't agree. What are you doing now?" Zheng Wuji asked.
Their bank is small in scale, and most of their business in other places relies on large banks.
"They said they wanted to do affiliate business with us," Yi Pingshun said, "and they said that as long as they agreed, they would give us 20% of the business in the west."
"Why? Did something happen to their bank?" Zheng Wuji asked.
"As far as I know, no." Yi Pingshun has already checked.
"They are the largest money bank, and they have been doing it for the longest time and are familiar with it. They cannot take the initiative to win over us." Zheng Wuji did not let greed get to his head. "Not to mention taking the initiative to give away profits, which is even more incredible.
I don’t believe anything is so cheap in the world.”
"What the uncle said makes sense. I'm worried about this too. Even though our business is good, they won't lose money by cooperating with him," Yi Pingshun said.
"But they are in too much of a hurry." Zheng Wuji shook his head, "If something goes wrong, there must be a monster!"
"I think so too. It's like handing over money to us. I've been doing business for so many years, and this is the first time I've encountered this kind of thing.
Then... according to the uncle's wishes, what should we do?" Yi Pingshun asked.
Zheng Wuji sat there in silence, wondering why he suddenly had to get promoted and make a fortune.
After thinking about it, it should be related to the palace.
So he said to Yi Pingshun: "Put this business down! In the near future, only do business that you are sure of, and never be greedy for profit."
"I know, you villain." After Yi Pingshun asked for Zheng Wuji's instructions, he said goodbye and left.
Zheng Wuji murmured to himself: "Xiang Jun must have been tricked by someone, and I can't be stupid and implicate her."
So he called Sikandar in and told him: "I won't go out from today. Anyone who asks me will tell me that I am sick. I am very ill and cannot see people."
"Why is this?" Sikandar was puzzled.
"Of course I'm hiding from disaster. My illness won't be cured until grandma comes back," Zheng Wuji said, "Just remember it."
So Zheng Wuji really pretended to be ill and took a leave of absence from the court, preventing him from reporting to the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
All the people who came to visit were sent away, saying they were afraid of inflicting illness on the guests.
